Let me know if you have any luck with your roof rails. The shop attempted it but it didn't turn out very well so they removed it. Almost looks like the headliner will need to come off to remove them and wrap / paint. Seems like a huge PITA

Yup headliner has to drop. We tried to wrap it over the weekend. It's too curvy to work

Personally we need to get into contact with a vendor who can supply Oem trim. There is our aluminum silver Trim off ebay or alibaba express for a few hundred nothing in shadowline.

They were just installing a front lip for me and I saw them working on yours. But I do plan to have them wrap the roof and then the whole car eventually!

He was doing something similar to this custom color the last time he spoke of it on page 2:



Can't wait to see how it looks .

The wheel sizes are 22x10 and 22x12, 295/30 and 335/25

Thats going to be very similar to the color I'm ended up choosing. Brushed faces with polished "windows" with double dark tint coat!

kkakonn - WOW! I chanced upon this thread a little late, but what a way for me to start the morning. Excuse me while I go pick my jaw off the floor. I gotta say, the wrap turned up really nice - roof rails notwithstanding.

Gotta feel a little sorry for opasha though heheh - his great reveal is getting there, but you beat him to the punch. Amazing to see a stealth black beauty turn into a matt gray menace.

Love it and congratulations on the mods!

Opasha's color is quite different than this. No hint of blue/green just matte silver! Still can't wait to see his revelation!

Thanks for the kind words! I have to say seeing opasha 's vinyl thread was one of the main reasons I went forward with mine.

FYI to the forums member. For 22" Staggered, 285/30-22 or 295/30-22 front and 335/25-22 rear is the only way to go.

I agree, I was too worried about matte finishes looking too dull, Satin definitely makes the car look like the luxury vehicle it is
